Papers attributable to this special issue are a result of the discussions held at the conference “Sustainable Taxation—Global Challenges and Legal Solutions” organized at the University College of Gävle (Sweden) in April 2019. Despite the papers having been written before the ongoing pandemic, the content of them is now more topical than ever as individual states will, beside the apparent health crisis, struggle with not only financial recovery but also tangible inequality within society. As is discussed next in Prof. Buchanan’s editorial, intergenerational justiceis a highly plausible way of moving forward and promoting greater equality not only within tax systems but also within the society in general. Buchanan´s utilization of the U.S. example provides us with highly relevant and thought-proving insights.

Abstract One of the goals of the summer 2006 issue of The Public Historian, which focused on the presidential library system, was ““to provoke discussion, especially on the issues that have not received sufficient attention or have been largely avoided”” (Larry J. Hackman, ““Introduction,”” p. 7). This essay responds to the lead article in that special issue, Sharon Fawcett's ““Presidential Libraries: A View From the Center.”” Craig warns against the potential for ““politicization”” that could result from greater centralized control NARA's presidential libraries. He argues that NARA has consistently failed to articulate to Congress the true funding needs of the presidential libraries for records processing; he suggests how these needs could be more effectively communicated to Congress and proposes a fiscal solution (earmarking a portion of endowment and trust funds) to address the records processing backlog. Craig also reflects on the role and function of library supporting foundations and advances the notion that NARA library directors should not be permitted to serve as the head of such foundations. Finally, he argues that before focusing on public programming and educational outreach, NARA needs to reinvigorate emphasis on the original purposes of presidential libraries-archival preservation and access.

Role And Function

Scholarship exploring the makeup, function, and efficacy of collegial governance structures within the context of Canadian higher education is limited and primarily focused on the board or the senate. This paper expands that scholarship by focusing on the governance structures of the university library. The objective of this study was to determine the extent of library councils in Canadian universities and to examine their composition, role, and function as evidenced in their governing documents. Using Karl Mannheim’s document method to analyze the terms of reference of 23 library councils, findings reveal that, overwhelmingly, library councils function as information-sharing and discussion forums rather than decision-making bodies. The paper concludes with a review of progressive language and governance practice as gathered from the document analysis.

Role And Function

Cooperative extension has prided itself on being the outreach of the land grant university. However, with changes in the structure of the population, the economy, and agriculture in particular, extension has had to change as well. Increasingly, extension service providers are reminded that they cannot be all things to all people. There is also increasing competition from other campus units that feel they have an outreach mission. As traditional base funding sources decline, decisions must be made regarding the role and function of extension within the university system. This paper explores these issues using historical data, reports, and six case studies. The case studies provide insights into the ways different extension services have collaborated and partnered in university outreach. The case studies demonstrate that the role of extension reflects such things as past experiences, the level of support for extension, the administrative structure of extension and the university, and the vision of those within and without the extension system.

This paper is included in the First Monday Special Issue: Commercial Applications of the Internet, published in July 2006. The Internet has changed the way people buy things. A pointed difference is the use of Internet auctions and bots. But, are these differences actually changing the role and function of price in the firm's marketing program? Are they possibly changing options for pricing, and perhaps even, the very notion of perceived value? Or in fact, does the new set of Internet pricing mechanisms merely require marketers to do what good marketers have always done, and that is to build customer-perceived value and use price to recapture it? The only difference may be that now, we can do it even better because we have better tools.

AbstractThis study sought to strip the university in the era of globalization, and the application of good governance. Globalization has changed the university (colleges) that exist in the world vying to become world class University. Most universities (colleges) in Indonesia have transformed itself from the university for teaching to be research university. Several models of approaches can be adopted to implement good governance in the face of global challenges that can be done through a model or framework of bureaucratic, political, collegial, and symbolic. Besides the university (college) should be able to guarantee transparency, accountability, rensponsive, reponsibility, independency, and fairness as well as other additional principle should be in accordance with the vision and mission of the university.

Key Questions

This essay utilizes an alternative politics of directionality as a way of reentering the mid-twentieth-century Caribbean literary archive. Rather than focusing on Windrush as the main orienting point, this discussion examines and regrounds what events and institutions in Jamaica might tell us about the literary 1950s. Beginning by rethinking the historiographical gaze toward London, the author then raises key questions about what the narrative of the founding of the English department at the University College of the West Indies and the work of Focus magazine in Jamaica might tell us about the development of literary culture in the Caribbean. The author ends by thinking about how a focus on returns might also help us to rethink the decade. The essay examines instances of migrant returns, through which people recrossed the waters, and explores literary remittances that saw the role and function of the London scene being debated and contested within the region.

Role And Function

In Australia, educational research and the training of educational researchers has, traditionally, been considered a university function. An analysis of educational journals, grants for research in education, and the values expressed by decision making bodies regarding the place of the colleges of advanced education in educational research suggests that despite the changing role and function of the CAEs, the university system still dominates educational research. As long as present attitudes and conditions exist, it is unlikely that the situation will change significantly.
